May a participant emerge in WAODAO who invents a move I cannot even imagine.

There are games where a crown is worn to end the game. And there are games where a crown is worn so the next player will want to take it away.
A black cat stood atop a golden Solana pillar, watching a giant blue arrow pierce the upper boundary of the chart. Below, the city roared. Thousands of screens displayed his face, market capitalization broke record after record, and red rivals disappeared one by one. Above the square floated his enlarged shadow wearing a crown.
“You won,” said the advisor.
The cat looked at the red token across from him.
“Then why are they still playing?”
On a nearby platform, a red fox was gathering the remnants of her community. Her chart was falling, her coins were losing value, and the winners laughed at her.
According to the Tournament rules, everything was simple: each side had to collect as much capital, attention, and participation as possible. When one player became large enough, the others were declared losers.
“Because they haven’t realized it yet,” said the advisor. “The market will explain soon.”
The cat removed the crown. Suddenly he noticed something strange. Every previous champion was still here. Their giant faces hung around the arena: blue cats, purple cats, dark cats, dozens of forgotten heroes from past seasons. Each had once stood on the same pedestal. Each had seen the same arrow. Each had heard the word “forever.”
“So the winner earns the right to become a portrait?” asked the cat.
The advisor remained silent.
The next day, the champion made a move the rules did not allow for. He sent part of his liquidity to the red side. Then he opened his infrastructure to smaller projects. After that, he proposed a shared marketplace where different communities could freely interact.
The organizers immediately summoned him.
“You are helping your opponents.”
“I am helping players.”
“That is the same thing.”
“Only in a game that is supposed to end.”
The chairman frowned.
“Every game requires a winner.”
The cat pointed upward, where Solana revolved around a glowing Earth.
“Then who won the Internet?”
The room fell silent.
Meanwhile, something unexpected was happening outside. The red side began to grow. The blue side invented a new mechanic. Small tokens gave birth to entirely new communities. People moved between them, returned, created their own rules, and connected markets together. The arrows on the screens moved in different directions, yet the network itself kept expanding.
“Your advantage is shrinking,” warned the advisor.
“But the number of possible moves is growing.”
“You may lose first place.”
“First place exists only inside the current rules.”
The advisor looked at him for a long time.
“Then why do you play?”
The cat put the crown back on, but now it looked more like a joke than a symbol of power.
“So that one day a player appears who invents a move I cannot even imagine.”
That evening, the giant blue arrow was removed from the central square. In its place appeared a map of connections between thousands of projects. Red, blue, gold, and purple lines spread across the planet, merged, vanished, and reappeared.
People argued for years about whether the black cat had won that season. He found the question strange.
A finite player asks how to win. An infinite player asks what move can make the game larger than himself.
